The solver star brings a little color to my beige desk and cubicle wall. (I have given up decorating any of my temporary work spaces a long time ago !).
‘Stars’ is a wood engraving print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher first printed in October 1948, depicting two chameleons in a polyhedral cage floating through space [source : Wikipedia].We had project-wide design review meetings on Monday and Tuesday. Everyone that made a ‘worthy’ contribution to the discussion got a star from the project manager (and so lots of team members got a star, and the one in the picture is mine). The star is a stellated heptahedron of sorts. A heptahedron is a polyhedron with seven faces and the ‘stellated’ means that pointy pyramids were added to the faces of the polyhedron.
